Certainly. The command is bbdb-complete-name. Kai Großjohann has
written message-x.el which adds this and other types of message header 
completion. Also, since I don't keep everyone in my bbdb, I'd like to
use abbrev for domains. So I've added this bit of advice:

(defadvice bbdb-complete-name (after bbdb-complete-name-default-domain activate)
  (let* ((completed ad-return-value))
    (if (null completed)
	  (expand-abbrev)
      )
    )
)
